And those dogs are considered members of LE.
It's not the hair that causes the allergic reaction, it's the dander.

Maybe this is the dog hater in me but I don't like it. Barking, hair everywhere, pee and poop in rooms. No thanks. At least a cat can use a litter box.

They can have an opinion without majorly overreacting.
Thanks for the info.
People don't like it so they have a strong opinion about it. Who are you to say they can't?

After spending a horrid night at a Hyatt where a dog barked ALL NIGHT LONG across the hall, never again will we stay at a hotel that allows dogs. Nearly every guest on the floor was out in the hallway looking to see what room the barking was coming from. Hotel management was contacted and the guests of the room were gone, only a dog inside. They called the phone number on the reservation and they didn’t answer. They reportedly left several messages, every hour...the people finally came in around 6 am looking rough. Hyatt ended up comping everyone on the floor for that night, which was very nice. I felt bad for the dog. S/he must have been stressed out, could hear people talking, scared, etc. I was mad at the owners, not the dog. So, to spare ourselves that stress again, we choose carefully. To each their own and thankfully my favorite resorts aren’t part of the pilot program.
Dogs are dogs. I love my dog and most of the time he’s pretty good but sometimes I know he says “screw it, I’m pooping in the house” and so he does. And he likes his house, and he’s happy, and he’s a spoiled brat. To expect pets to not be stressed in an unfamiliar place is crazy. I just think this sets up a bad situation for the animals.
When pets were invited in during the emergency situation, everyone was on a curfew. People weren’t leaving their animals for 12+ hours to parkhop; they stayed with them. This will be completely different. I just hope people who really love their animals will realize an unfamiliar, lonely hotel room with strange smells and noises is not showing your pet love. An awesome pet resort, kennel, sitter is. I hope some don’t let their own desires override common sense.

Cats urinate outside their litter box more frequently than you think. My daughter's cat does it all the time.
I didn't put any words in your mouth.

I swear I could trim our dog’s nails twice a week and he’d still click, click, click. I’m convinced he’s part dragon!

Not for those of us who are already booked at one of those 4 hotels, and now can't change because of lack of availability...

Disney has offered onsite pet boarding for ages. This is a bad idea imo and isn't necessary. Ben tho I spent this week in lowes 4 star property that was labeled "pet friendly" and had no negative experience from the pets I did see... I still think it's a bad idea. While your pet may be good most of the time, they call them "accidents" for a reason

I love my Walker hound but we take her to camp bow wow for the week we spend at Disney.She has a great time playing with the other dogs.Camp bow wow has an ap that allows you to watch your dog so you have peace of mind.You and your pet should both be able to have a fun vacation.
Kids don't leave dander behind that some folks are allergic to. Nor do they poop outside or pee on bushes. Kids will enjoy a Disney vacation a dog would be just as happy at home with a sitter or whatever.
I ran a hotel not far from Disney. We were pet friendly because it was a requirement of our brand. Dogs were a constant headache for my staff as well as our guests. They did leave presents everywhere, even though we had a dog walking area. They destroyed the rooms while left unattended. They barked constantly, especially if there were 2 in rooms that were next to each other. We had dogs snapping at guests and my staff. We even had dogs escaping from rooms by figuring out how to use the push lever door handles. I experienced dogs at my hotel for years. I am a dog lover too. I think this is a terrible idea for Disney. Especially the part about no weight or breed requirement.
